Pre-race routine:

Had planned to do the Full Marathon however after getting the Flu about a week before the race I decided to change to the Half. I felt terrible about the decision initially. Ran one of the best 5 mile splits I ever have. 34:45! About mile 6 started feeling bad. I pretty much suffered for the remainder of the race. Almost Bonked!
Event warmup:

Running through the Marta Terminal, to the Baggage truck, then the starting line. Not very good.
